I have one that I bought at WM years ago. It still looks great but is really too fancy for my tree now. It's black velvet trimmed in red. It has packages made out of sequins on one side. I know it sounds kind of tacky but it's actually really pretty.

I have a red velvet tree skirt showing Santa in his sleigh, all done in sequins. Bought mine at Costco over 10 years ago. I love mine and do not plan to replace it. Any fabric or a blanket, etc. can be draped around the base of the tree in place of a skirt to coordinate with your tree and/or home decor.

I use a skirt. I have two different ones, the one I use most is off white trimmed in dark green with some gold running through the heavy brocade fabric. It sounds fancy, but because the colors are muted it works nicely. The other is pale green and blue and I have used it only once. Both were purchased at TJ Maxx, where I've found some very pretty tree skirts and other decorations at good prices. Was there yesterday, though, and it appears there aren't a lot of bargains anywhere any more, as even some of the Maxx prices seemed higher than usual.

Ya know, I am one that uses a small blanket that matches our decor since as soon as the gifts start going under the tree, the skirt is not seen at all. AND after Christmas, when the gifts are gone, I take the tree down shortly after that. I love tree skirts, though, but for me? I can't justify the expense. I spend the money in lots of other decorating spots, though.

I have one that I made that has burgundy velvet segments alternating with a print fabric with gold thread running through it. Hand smocked satin ribbon runs between the segments over the seams and a ruffle made of the velvet finishes off the edge. Since I spent a lot of time making it, I wii probably be using it for quite a few years.

I have a burgandy velvet one with a nativity embroidered on it - I got it at a church craft fair - I will likely keep it at least as long as I continue to have burgandy LR furniture, It is very pretty.

I use a beautiful round tone-on-tone (poinsettia pattern) cream colored tablecloth!....It is full and gathers very nicely around the tree....I just tired of the tree skirt a few years ago and wanted a more neutral color to go with the colors in our living area and thought to try this out.....It looks great and I have been using it ever since!

I go to JoAnn Fabrics and get a couple of yards of whatever fabric catches my eye--then I haphazardly throw it under the tree so that it doesn't surround the base of the tree perfectly. Sometimes I even use tulle, it really looks pretty

I replied earlier, but had to log off because I got a call from my girlfriend.

I love reading all of the replies here...Us ladies are so creative and imaginative...YAY for us ladies!...LOL

You now have me thinking of trying a neutral quilt that I have stored away and I can picture it working as a great tree skirt!....Also, I love the idea of just buying yardage of whatever fabric we like and just working it around the tree.

Yes. Now that my kids are grown, I just changed mine two years ago when I got a new prelit tree. It's just a plain simple one along with the plain simple tree that goes up in three pieces in 5 minutes. Done with all the fussy, time consuming, messy work.

When I moved out of my parents' house to my first apartment my mother made a tree skirt and gave it to me for my birthday. I've moved a number of times, married, divorced, remarried, but one thing has remained constant over the past 30+ years....I always use the tree skirt Mom made for me. It wouldn't be Xmas without it.

I use a blanket of cotton around the tree I put up in the living room. It is a older tree and it sits up higher than the trees being made today. I put a strand of white lights under the cotton. Then I make a village on top of the cotton. I use books to make areas higher and it is a beautiful site when I finish. I have the village made by Susan Winget that QVC sold many years ago. I have many accessories that I put around the village. All of the houses light up and with the lights from the tree show off the village. I have a Christmas train that I put the track around the outside of the cotton. My grandkids spend all their time running the train and looking at the village. The tree I put up in the den is where all the presents go and I have a quilted tree skirt I bought at WalMart many years ago and I still love it. I don't know how much longer I will be able to put the village under the tree becasue it really is alot of work and I am not getting any younger....It really is a great place to put a village if you have a extra tree...Merry Christmas..Gail
